A burglar has been locked up for terrorising a family after barging into their luxury home.

A mother in her 40s and her two teenage sons had just finished their dinner when they saw hooded and masked Steven Green standing outside brandishing a hammer and a screwdriver.

He walked through the open patio doors, grabbed the woman by the shoulder and demanded ‘just give me the CCTV tapes’.

During the terrifying raid that followed, the menacing housebreaker frog-marched the family about their seven-bedroom Didsbury home, which sits on an extensive plot with outbuildings.

After using his screwdriver to disable the CCTV system, Green demanded electrical goods and valuables, stuffing £30,000 of jewellery into a pillowcase.

Unknown to Green, however, the eldest son of the family was upstairs when he broke in, and had heard his mother pleading ‘please don’t hurt us’.

The 18-year-old rang 999 and an operator advised that he barricaded himself in his bedroom.

Officers arrived when the raid was in progress and Tasered Green.

Shocking details of the dramatic home invasion, which happened at 7pm on June 1, emerged as Green, 37, of Ossington Walk, Northern Moor, Wythenshawe, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court to seven-and-a-half years after admitting robbery.
